Anti-wrinkle treatments

Anti-wrinkle injections including eyebrow and jawline reshaping

Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions, and as well as being used to reduce wrinkles, they can also stop excessive sweatingand treat migraines. Anti-wrinkle treatments have been used safely for more than twenty years in the treatment of many medical conditions in both adults and children.

The main cosmetic use for anti-wrinkle injections is to improve lines around the eye, eyebrow and forehead. These wrinkles form with time from activity of muscles in these areas. Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to temporarily weaken these muscles, causing the lines to diminish as the muscles which produced them no longer move. They take away a stressed or anxious appearance, making you look younger and more relaxed.

Anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to lift and reshape the outer eyebrow, to reshape the jawline and help reduce teeth grinding, and to reduce muscle bands in the neck and to give the jawline a lift (Nefertiti lift).

If anti-wrinkle injections are used to treat lines that are very shallow, then often these disappear completely. If the lines are deep and permanent then other treatments such as dermal fillers may be required if you wish the lines to be removed completely.

If you start regular treatments with anti-wrinkle injections before permanent lines start, then you will delay and possibly prevent wrinkles appearing, helping to maintain a youthful appearance.

Treatment involves a series of tiny injections into the muscle directly beneath the wrinkle line. The injection causes about 10 seconds of stinging, and occasionally a slight swelling or bruising may occur.

The patient should move the muscles in the injected area for 5-10 minutes after the injection, and must remain upright for four hours following treatment, and resist touching or massaging the treated area as this could spread the anti-wrinkle treatments into unwanted areas. The effects will be noticeable 4-7 days later and last for between 3-6 months. The results often last longer with further successive treatments.

Complications are uncommon but can occur. The most common complication is partial eyelid droop (occurring in about 2% of injections), and eyebrow droop or asymmetry. This may last up to three weeks, after which it resolves itself. Anti-wrinkle treatments cannot be used in pregnant or breast feeding women.

I found the total experience with Dr Cope excellent. From his clear explanation of the procedure to the great result, coupled with his professionalism and empathy at all times.

I am now able to wear T shirts and go to the beach without any embarrassment. I wish I had had the operation many years ago.

After a bit of “Doctor Shopping” and much chat with women who had undergone breast reconstruction surgery I consulted Dr Cope. It was worth the wait! My decision to have a breast implant and a neck lift was a great boost to my self esteem and certainly not wearing an awful prosthetic breast made my lifestyle more active.

Dr Cope is not only an expert and thoughtful surgeon but the head of a brilliant team. From the clinic, to the theatre, to the hospital bed everyone is professional and caring. A team I heartily recommend.

Dr Cope is a professional and excellent surgeon. The end result is amazing and has given me confidence to embrace life to the full after cancer and a bilateral mastectomy.

My only regret is that I didn’t have my breast surgery years earlier. I love the result and I am very happy to recommend Dr Cope to anyone.

Dr Charles Cope and his team were extremely professional during my visits there. I was referred to Dr Cope by a relative and would recommend him to anyone I talk to in the future. I felt comfortable and respected during each stage of my visits. From start to finish of my procedure I knew I was in good hands and didn’t need to worry about anything. I will always be thankful to Dr Cope and his team for the change they made to my life.

I was very impressed with the service from start to finish and the work by Dr Cope is amazing. I have recommended him to numerous people and they were also extremely happy.

After meeting 3 surgeons in North Sydney and Eastern Suburbs combined, Dr Charles Cope felt the most professional and empathetic, and also portrayed a natural desire to help. I instantly knew he was my future surgeon after our first appointment and did not need to seek any further – I loved his kind, gentle and informative approach. I had lost weight and lost the fullness to my breasts which were already on the smaller side (I felt like the nothing I had was even less now and it was making me so unhappy as I am still quite young, early 20′s). I only had a small time frame to have the augmentation and reconstructive surgery due to commitments, Dr Charles Cope was amazing – he listened to my needs, delivered great results and expectations, all in which was a very pleasant and relaxing, yet exciting experience. My breasts look so natural, they are just so perfect and are a part of me now. I truly believe I have received the best patient-centred care from Dr Charles Cope and from ALL his employees and would gladly recommend him to anybody who requires cosmetic or reconstructive plastic surgery.

I had a breast reduction performed by Dr Charles Cope in August of 2012 after suffering chronic back pain. A year later, I know it was the right decision to make. The first days after the operation, I was surprised to be almost completely pain free. Dr Cope is thorough and professional and doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable at all. He was always timely and had very thorough after care procedures in place. Surrounded by friendly and professional staff, they make a great team and I would highly recommend for any cosmetic or medical procedure.

I am very glad I went to Dr Cope for my breast augmentation. I have full round breasts that suit my figure and really do give me extra confidence. I have had a baby since and I am breastfeeding with no problems. My baby is exclusively breastfed and not only thriving but she is in the 90th percentile for weight gain!

My surgery was life changing for me and not as painful as I thought it would be! Dr Cope is a very compassionate man, who made me feel at ease. I would recommend Dr Cope to everyone.

I am extremely happy with the results of my breast lift – not only just the cosmetic aspect, but also the effect it has had on my comfort when running, jumping, or even just sitting still. Dr Cope’s after-service and care is second to none.

From the moment I first stepped in the door it was evident Dr Cope ran a first class, surgery and hand selected his staff to reflect his quality of advice, attention to detail and client service. The softly lit and very peaceful waiting room was just the beginning of an excellent experience. At age 63 I came to see Charles Cope regarding my drooping top eyelids. I felt completely at ease with his quiet, gentle manner as he carefully explained the procedure (known as Blepharoplasty), expected recovery time and any possible complications. The procedure was planned on a date to minimise time away from the work force, with minimum interruption to my personal and social life. It was done under a local anaesthetic and took no more than 20 minutes for both eyes. Amazing! and I walked home about 15 minutes away with no difficulty. A little bruising and swelling was managed well with the directions and comprehensive instruction sheet provided post surgery . I am delighted to give a 5 star review to Dr Charles Cope, his nursing and administrative staff and the whole experience.

I was thrilled with the outcome of my breast reduction surgery from the minute I woke up after the operation. If only I’d had the procedure done 10 years earlier.

I highly recommend Dr. Cope! My daughter is the one who did her research and found Dr. Cope several years ago. She was extremely pleased with her procedure and the level of care given. I have since undergone multiple procedures by Dr. Cope to my body and face and have been extremely pleased with all! I have been impressed with both the results and my before/after care. I recently took my teenage son to have moles removed from his face as I knew Dr. Cope could and would ensure minimal scarring. I will definitely continue to use Dr. Cope for future surgeries!

I have nothing but praise for Dr Cope – he was compassionate and professional from our first consultation through to completion of my breast reconstruction. I would recommend Dr Cope without hesitation.

Dr Cope provided exceptional care, empathy and professionalism at all times, and I have 100% satisfaction with the result of my breast surgery.

I am completely happy with every aspect of my breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy for cancer. Dr Cope’s information was always complete and understandable, and I felt he listened carefully and communicated well, in addition to treating me with professionalism, courtesy, care and respect – and an appropriate sense of humour.

I had a full face lift including browlift and eyelid surgery with Dr Cope 5 years ago and it has changed my life! I look younger now than my photos of 10 years ago. He is so good, not to mention incredibly nice! Thoroughly recommended.

My breast reduction was the best thing I ever had done. It changed my life. Dr Cope is excellent and I recommended him to my friends.

3 years ago I decided to have a breast reduction. Having suffered with large drooping breasts for most of my life, it was time to do something about it. After my initial consultation, all my concerns and worries were swept from my mind. Dr Cope was empathetic and helpful, giving me practical advice regarding appropriate size for my body. Since having the operation, which was overnight and minimal pain with only slight discomfort I no longer suffer with back pain and stress headaches. I am able to enjoy exercising comfortably and wearing strapless tops and dresses and have ditched the horrible ‘granny bras’ for more feminine underwear. I highly recommend Dr Charles Cope and will continue to use his services if I need to in the future.

Dr Cope was recommended to me by my doctor after my 12 year old daughter sustained a nasty gash to her forehead. Her words “he does great breasts, so he should be able to fix her wound and have minimal scaring”. And that he did, 10 years later she has no scaring. So when I decided to get rid of my droopy eyelids for my 50th birthday present to myself, I knew that Dr Cope was who I wanted to do the procedure. When I had the initial consult, Dr Cope and I discussed all options, and I adopted to have the operation under local aesthetic. The procedure was painless and the results amazing. Whilst not dramatic, friends comment on how fresh and youthful I now look. I couldn’t recommend Dr Cope and his helpful staff highly enough.

I was fully informed about the procedure I was thinking of undertaking (upper eyelid blepharoplasty), and the commentary as to what was about to happen next during the surgery, which was under local anaesthetic, was very reassuring. The after care literature was easy to follow and knowing that I could phone for advice gave me peace of mind. I’m very happy with the result and I know I made the right decision.

Dr Cope and his team were friendly and professional from start to finish. A very natural look achieved from my breast augmentation – no regrets!

I researched for two years to find a very competent surgeon for my procedure (facelift, tummy tuck and liposuction) and I am very happy with my decision to chose Dr Cope. I am not only happy with the outcome of the surgery but also the care shown by Dr Cope both before and after the procedure.

Being faced with a double mastectomy due to breast cancer was a very daunting prospect to say the least, however, after meeting and discussing my options, I left Dr Cope’s surgery feeling things weren’t going to be so bad after all. He was compassionate and caring and had answers for all the questions I had – even if some of them were obscure. He has a good sense of humour which for me at this scary time, was a bonus, but most of all I felt very safe in his hands. That was a true blessing. I opted for a breast reconstruction in conjunction with the mastectomy surgery and although the process was arduous, I always felt confident that the end result was going to be worth it…… and it was!! I am very happy with the results and the whole experience with Dr Cope and his happy, caring and supportive staff was second to none! If you are in a similar situation to that of mine, I would highly recommend that you call Dr Cope and discuss your options with him.

I had a facelift at the end of last year, and I am delighted with the results. Dr Cope is an excellent cosmetic surgeon who really listens to what the patient wants. I met many people at a wedding earlier this year who I hadn’t seen for around 10 years. Most of them commented on how I hadn’t changed a bit, which I think is testament to Dr Cope’s skills. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he is an exceptional doctor.

I was very impressed by Dr Cope’s skill and expertise. I had a breast augmentation 6 weeks ago and not only has the shape of my breasts improved, but my clothes just seem to fit better! Dr Cope was caring yet professional and I am very happy with my ‘new’ breasts.

It may sound like a cliche but Dr Cope really did change my life. After having had four children I couldn’t possibly bring my body back to its original condition by myself and thanks to Dr Cope I now have my old body back which not only makes me more physically confident with my husband :), but also in the clothes I wear and in my work as an entertainer. Furthermore, I found Dr Cope to be thoroughly professional but caring and kind at the same time and, most importantly, he listens patiently and carefully. I would recommend him 100% – he is worth every dollar.

As a single woman of 40 years of age, a double mastectomy due to breast cancer and the subsequent treatment was a devastating blow. Dr Charles Cope listened to my needs and offered expert advice. He used his expertise and skills to help me become a beautiful again. In fact even though I am still ‘under construction’ I have already received many compliments and admiring glances. What he has given me is not just a physical result the way I look has also helped the way I feel giving me back my confidence and self-esteem.

I had a breast augmentation 2 weeks ago by Dr Cope. My new breasts look really natural and I am very happy with the result. I felt really safe in Dr Cope’s hands, he is very experienced and this helped alleviate my nervousness about the operation. I spent 1 night in hospital and was back at work within 2 weeks. I would recommend Dr Cope if you are thinking of having a breast augmentation. I am really glad I did it.

I will always be grateful to my Oncologist Surgeon for recommending Dr Cope for my reconstruction. 2 years down the track and after a double mastectomy, the result of Dr Cope’s magic made me feel like a new woman. I cannot thank him enough for his patience and his care and concern throughout the period of getting back my figure. I would recommend him highly.

My son was 10 years old when he first visited Dr Cope to discuss having his ears surgically altered. Our first visit to Dr Cope’s rooms to discuss the procedure certainly allowed me to feel comfortable about undertaking such a procedure, although it was a further 12 months before our son was able to confidently say he was prepared to undertake the operation, this to me shows the excellence of Dr Cope’s level of communication with his patients, no matter their age.

The outcome of my new breasts are amazing. I am so thrilled with my result. Dr Charles Cope and his team having been nothing but helpful and attentive before and post the Operation. This made me feel so confident. It’s a fantastic price to pay if you get to feel the way I do, I could never imagine life without my new breasts.
